Well, many people with latops/desktops with no current network 
connection during boot won't care a lot about this or that ntp host, 
most sureley, it doesn't matter.

But for measurement purposes an ntp server at CDC is much better then 
pool.<vendor> cname pool.ntp.org.

A redundancy can be made, when some people who are using ubuntu and have 
access to a realiable DC are setting up some ntp servers and canonical 
is setting up the correct dns records. the CDC ntp server will be the 
master for the others.
